Along with their Fantasy Football app they released Y! Finance. This app gives you access to quite a bit of financial information for free from your BlackBerry. You could probably get some of this information from Viigo but nothing close to these graphs including the ability to import your Yahoo! Portfolio. Oh and did I mention it is free?

Fantasy Football ‘09 App</a> Michael on "Tips & Tricks: How to Modify/Change the Yahoo! Email Icon on the BlackBerry Bold" http://www.berryreview.com/forums/topic/tips-tricks-how-to-modifychange-the-yahoo-email-icon-on-the-blackberry-bold#post-1363 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 04:49:49 +0000 Michael 1363@http://www.berryreview.com/forums/ Editors note: I did not even know about this little hack. Michael Jones was kind enough to offer instructions on how to perform this little trick. This is really for all those AT&T Bold users out there – who likes the Yahoo! email icon on their BlackBerry? Show of hands? Anyone? [crickets chirping] That’s what I thought. Sorry, but I don’t use Yahoo! email anymore, unless I want to know where to buy wee-wee enhancement drugs, get rich today, or lose 50 pounds in a week, (or read other spam), because I get about 150 spam emails a day on my Yahoo! email account. So I haven’t used it for years. Imagine my surprise when AT&T sold out to Yahoo! to put a Yahoo! icon on my phone, as an email icon, when I don’t use Yahoo! anymore. The BlackBerry was designed to allow the vendor (AT&T) to set this icon themselves, to make a quick buck. See, if RIM embedded the icon inside of the OS, the vendor couldn’t change it. So they made a separate PNG file, (which is like a JPG picture file), that the BlackBerry OS loads when the phone is rebooted. So I wanted to change this icon. I am not sure if this will work on other devices but it does work on the AT&T Bold. I will show you where the icon file is, on a BlackBerry. First you have to plug your BlackBerry into your USB cable, with Desktop Manager running or not (it is easier if DM is not running, so that it won’t try to sync right now). When you look at Windows Explorer, it will look something like this: <a href="http://static.berryreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/clip_image002.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 5px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" title="http://www.berryreview.co/clip_image002" src="http://static.berryreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/clip_image002_thumb.jpg" border="http://www.berryreview.co/0" alt="clip_image002" width="http://www.berryreview.co/388" height="198" /></a>  See drive F:? That is the system drive on my BlackBerry. Think of it like your BlackBerry’s hard drive. The drive below it, G:, is my removable 2GB Micro SD card. If you navigate through the F: drive (or whatever your BlackBerry drive shows up as, in Windows), you will find the folder with this specific PNG picture file, as seen below: <a href="http://static.berryreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/clip_image004.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 5px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" title="http://www.berryreview.co/clip_image004" src="http://static.berryreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/clip_image004_thumb.jpg" border="http://www.berryreview.co/0" alt="clip_image004" width="http://www.berryreview.co/369" height="257" /></a> In the BlackBerry file system, look for this folder, or something like it: F:appdatarimbdaiconsGBISXNAC02S08 You will see a *.PNG picture file. In the picture above, it is called 1-80-80.png. If you modify this picture file with a graphics editor program, and replace the file on your BlackBerry, it will load up as the email icon. Before you do anything, you should make a backup copy of the Yahoo! email PNG picture file, on your Windows computer. Then if you don’t like it, you can always go back. Similarly, once you modify this picture file, you should make a backup of the new PNG picture file on your Windows computer, because a new OS install will probably over-write this file. Here is how you edit the picture file. Think of the picture file as two pictures – one that is seen when the icon does not have focus, and one that is seen when the icon does have focus. For example, if you put a puppy in the left half of the picture, and a bunny rabbit in the right half of the picture, you would have a puppy for an icon, and when the email application got focus, the puppy would turn into a bunny rabbit. More likely, for the Bold, you would put a picture of an envelope on the left side, and a picture of an envelope with a rounded border around it on the right. That way, when the icon got focus, it would get a rounded box around it (just like the other Bold icons). The changed icon will be visible when you reboot your BlackBerry, with the Alt+Shift+Delete key sequence. It is loaded fresh, every time you reboot. Here is that picture file, enlarged for your benefit: <a href="http://static.berryreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/clip_image006.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px 0px 5px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" title="http://www.berryreview.co/clip_image006" src="http://static.berryreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/clip_image006_thumb.jpg" border="http://www.berryreview.co/0" alt="clip_image006" width="http://www.berryreview.co/179" height="92" /></a> So enjoy, hope this helps, and remember that the OS is looking for this file, in this folder, so don’t forget to have this file in place when you reboot your BlackBerry Bold. As a disclaimer, I am going to say that you will be doing this procedure at your own risk, and I will not be held responsible for anybody doing this procedure incorrectly. If you don’t feel comfortable doing this, then don’t do it. <a href="http://www.berryreview.com/2009/06/22/tips-tricks-how-to-modifychange-the-yahoo-email-icon-on-the-blackberry-bold/" rel="nofollow">Tips & Tricks: How to Modify/Change the Yahoo!

Fan that they are releasing their BlackBerry app soon. It looks like the app is now available in the App World and will give you mobile access to your Yahoo! Fantasy Sports account. They are going to support OS 4.2.1+ devices so it should cover most people. Right now the app is going for $3.99 for a professional version but I heard rumors that they may have a free one… The download is a whopping 1.56MB so be wary about device memory. Their website is still reporting the app as coming soon at <a href="http://www.yfanapp.com/blackberry.html" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.yfanapp.com');" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">this link</a> but I found it in the app world by searching for “Fan”. (I really hate these apps that are only available in the App World… I cannot link directly to them) From the description: Y! Fan allows you to access your Yahoo! Fantasy Sports head-to-head or rotisserie pool teams in football, baseball, basketball and hockey. You can manage your teams roster including setting the current lineup, view stats, examine head-to-head match-ups, review current pool standings and look at head-to-head schedules. It also enables you to access live boxscores and read previews/recaps for all the games your teams players are involved in. If you have the Stats Tracker feature from Yahoo!, your teams stats will be updated in real time. Imagine being able to check your stats or make lineup changes while watching the game at the bar with friends or sitting in an airport, on a bus/train, in line at the supermarket, or anywhere else. With an interface that is far superior to that of a browser, Y! Fan offers the ability for sports junkies to access their pool teams from anywhere, at anytime, directly from their BlackBerry®.  Features: <ul> <li>Access to NFL Football, MLB Baseball, NHL Hockey and NBA Basketball pools including Plus editions</li> <li>Supports Head-to-Head and Rotisserie style pools</li> <li>Ability to manage your roster, moving players from active to the bench and vice versa</li> <li>Ability to view your team s performance for any day of the year</li> <li>Ability to track your team s progression up your pools standings</li> <li>Ability to view Head-to-Head match-ups and season schedule</li> <li>Pool message board access for reading and posting messages</li> <li>Access to your teams player notes</li> <li>Sport specific information including live scores, standings, injury reports, news and fantasy reports</li> <li>Ability to view recent transactions made in your league</li> <li>We are not only the Y! Fan developers, but its biggest users! We hope you will find this app as useful as we do for accessing NFL Football, MLB Baseball, NHL Hockey and NBA Basketball pools including Plus editions.</li> </ul> <a href="http://www.berryreview.com/2009/06/18/y-fan-professional-yahoo-mobile-fantasy-sports-app-now-available/" rel="nofollow">Y!
